1 Assess your current identity

Before you decide to change your brand identity, you need to understand your current one. What are the strengths and weaknesses of your brand? How do customers perceive your brand? What are the values, personality, and story of your brand? How does your brand differentiate from your competitors? You can use tools like surveys, interviews, focus groups, or audits to gather feedback and insights from your internal and external stakeholders. This will help you identify the gaps, opportunities, and challenges for your brand identity reinvention.

To successfully reinvent their identity, brands should start with thorough market research to understand evolving consumer preferences and trends. It's essential to align the new identity with core values while promoting innovation and creativity. Involving stakeholders in the rebranding process is crucial for gaining buy-in and diverse perspectives. I also want to emphasize the importance of comprehensive testing and collecting customer feedback. A prime example of a successful brand reinvention is Apple. They transformed from a struggling computer company into a global tech leader by prioritizing innovation, elegant design, and an exceptional user experience in their products and branding.

2 Define your new identity

Once you have a clear picture of your current identity, you can start to define your new one. What are the goals and objectives of your brand identity reinvention? What are the core values, vision, and mission of your brand? What are the attributes, traits, and emotions that you want your brand to convey? How do you want your brand to position itself in the market? You can use tools like personas, archetypes, or mood boards to create a visual and verbal representation of your new brand identity. This will help you communicate your brand identity to your internal and external audiences.

It's important to stay honest during this process and accept the current "state of affairs". If your brand is no longer connecting emotional to your core consumer base then no amount of marketing, promo pricing or "jazz" you through at it will change that. Take a step back and re-immerse yourself in what made the brand special and use those building blocks to start to define your new identify. There is a way to re-invent your brand without losing the essence of what made it great in the first place. Think re-define, evolve and re-invent rather than re-do and you will regain your footing keeping your core base whilst attracting new consumers simultaneously.

3 Design your new identity

After you have defined your new identity, you can start to design it. This involves creating the visual and verbal elements that will express your brand identity across all touchpoints. Visual elements include your logo, color palette, typography, imagery, or icons. Verbal elements include your name, tagline, voice, tone, or messaging. You can use tools like style guides, templates, or mockups to ensure consistency and coherence in your brand identity design. This will help you create a memorable and distinctive brand identity that reflects your new identity.

4 Test your new identity

Before you launch your new identity, you need to test it. This involves validating and refining your brand identity design based on feedback and data. You can use tools like prototypes, A/B testing, or usability testing to measure the effectiveness and appeal of your brand identity across different channels and platforms. You can also use tools like social media, blogs, or newsletters to tease and preview your new identity to your existing and potential customers. This will help you gauge the reaction and response of your target audience to your new identity.

Test and validate again and again! If something in your new positioning is not working that is 100% OK! Many times what we learn through the testing phase opens up new opportunities to take your brand in new directions you had not considered at Step 1 of the process. Always remember that retail is basically a daily test to see if you delivered what consumers actually want so testing pre-launch is absolutely invaluable.
